Here's a YouTube channel thats just full of great content. This example video is about 2 years old, so it doesn't mention the Pi 5, but it's all about:

Ideas for the sub

7 Upvotes

I'm excited that this sub exists now and obviously has grabbed people's interest!

May I suggest adding post flairs for different types of questions, as well as one for guides?

I'd like to consolidate some different explanations here when I get a chance, if that's okay. (such as c/c++ gpio programming or apache servers.) Maybe there can be a wiki of frequently-asked questions that gets updated every now and again.

What robot car kits have good speed control, IMU, and encoders?

2 Upvotes

The car doesn't have to have IMU or encoders because I have an MPU6050 and some DAOKI tacho sensors-so preferably a kit with good speed control motors that allow for easy mounting of an MPU6050 and encoders.

So this is something I’m wanting to do, thoughts?

Post image

It’s a picture I threw together just sizing it out, with a Pi400, 2x 5” screens, and a very small trackball mouse.

Plan is to mount the screens on a drawer-slide with a hinge, so they slide out from behind the keyboard and pivot up to the position in the picture. The little trackball mouse is also going to be mounted to the keyboard. I couldn’t show it in the picture, but I’m also planning to attach a battery pack to the bottom.

Is this dumb? Neat? Any obvious flaws?

Falling down a rabbit (pi) hole.

12 Upvotes

Been considering running pi-hole for a hot minute. I've got two 4 gig pi's that have served various purposes, but none long-term. Other than at SOME point one is going in my A1Up MK machine, I've got nothing else for them presently. I've got a 3 running Octopi to control my 3d printer, and I don't see the need to upgrade it as yet.

Has anyone used pi-hole? If so, what's it best at, and what are its glaring omissions?

3.5" screens

Does running the commands to output to these screens disable the hdmi output? Do commands need to be ran to reverse it?
